Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Stevenson a Bull****ter; Don't Believe Anything He Says

[The Big Dunn]

This is an honest assessment. I can't see how you feel the fight btwn Kovalev and Ward was a one point decision but see it as a bad decision that it went in one point the other direction though. We usually call that a close fight that could have gone either way. But you aren't the first person who says that. Doug Fischer from the Ring, who is obviously a huge jerk, swears that it was a close fight and a robbery at the same time. People make the same contradictory claim about the Canelo vs GGG fight. Close fight yet also the draw was a robbery. Its too weird for comprehension in my opinion. And as far as the guy you're responding to. He isn't a clown. He is a devout white supremacist. There is a difference. He lost the whole Al Haymon vs Golden Boy and Top Rank argument and the Andre Ward vs Sir Gay Hoevalev argument over a year ago and he still can't let it go. He's obsessed. Anyone who is still a fan of Hoeva is obviously a white boy scorned.

I didn't think it was a robbery-I just had Kov winning, so I called it a bad decision. I felt the KD was the difference in a very close fight. My point was more that the fight sold poorly and he lost a close fight-like a double whammy.

HAHA. Yeah I should realize that about him.

It doesn't matter really because he has one win against Ward and was stopped by a fraud ref in the second on low blows while winning the fight.

Damn dude

Making more excuses then Kov

Stopped by the ref , winning the 2nd fight . Please. Just use the other Kovalev excuse and say John David Jackson drugged him before the fight

If Jack wins, the fight won't be easier to make. Duva already said the fight would have to be on HBO. Jack isn't going to take less money to fight on HBO. Duva be holding back Kovalev from bigger pay days just to be in good standing with HBO

Kov still a force to be reckoned with. I still have him 1-1 v ward. Ward handled him in the second fight but kov banked enough to get that decision in I. But I digress, jack has a good chance to out box Stevenson. Jack has a solid jab. But Stevenson has some real power and knows how to use it. Should be a very entertaining fight! Cant wait!

He wouldn't have that imaginary win, if Ward never had the balls to move to 175! Stevenson is also lucky that Jack moved up from 168 too! Props to all the 168ers that have made that move! 175 would've been boring as **** without y'all! Badou Jack, Let's Go!

It has to be Bivol next! I don't even know why they're talking about anyone else. HBO is very thin @ 175!

Three years after their fight fell apart a second time, the war of words between Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson continues. Kovalev, bothered by Stevenson's claim earlier this week that Kovalev never wanted their light heavyweight title unification fight, fired back during an interview with Sky Sports.

So are you bud

[H-Tok]

no matter how much i hate adonis for his past, i can't fault his team going for a purse bid, which was called for and ducked by kovalev's team.

the truth!!!!

I posted the exact same thing you did. Duva asked that Kov be the mando. When it became clear that a purse bid was the only way a deal would get made, Duva/Kov asked not to be the mando.

She simply got outsmarted by Haymon and didn't think about things when she asked for Kov to be the mando.

So asking for mando means going to a purse bid? Kovalev fights for the respect, not for the money. He never acts like a diva and prices himself out. The only restriction was that it would be on HBO. He had three belts to Adonis’s one, and would have gladly taken 50%, hell maybe less. He made 6-7 times less than Ward in both fights, but he still fought, and never moaned about the small payday.

So how exactly did Haymon outsmart them? By making it so the fight didn’t get made? Was that any good for the sport or the fans?

Stevenson is in fact a Bull****ter, fights nobody's and has no credibility at all. Unfortunately I think Jack gets caught and Stevenson sits on the belt and collects social security.
